[She's in a room that isn't hers and looks distracted.]

Two things. Rourke is 1) not registering as my inmate anymore, and 2) in a coma right now. If someone could swing by Level 8 with a stretcher and help me get him to the infirmary, well, it'd save me dragging him to the elevator.

[Warden filter, a little later]

So...is this just a thing that happens?  Item goes half-dead at random, 'hey this guy's not your problem anymore'?

So. Just like home? [He tries for a joke, because not only is it kind of what he does, but also it keeps him from saying other, dumber things. Imagine that: Dean has thought of dumber things to say than the things he actually says.

He's following her out into the hall, letting her steer them.] Anyway, sorry. That sucks.

Enh. No skin off my back. [She hits the call button and taps her foot, waiting.] If the next one's here for eating babies or something I'll know the Admiral's just messing with me.

[He's probably not supposed to laugh about that, so he tries not to, turning his snort of amusement into a cough as he waits with her.

However.]

So, a regular ol' cannibal would be alright.

[Still in the same deadpan drawl:] Oh yeah, sure. If he gave his entrées a fighting chance I'll know I've got something to work with.

Makes you wonder what the side dishes would be. Jumping beans? [Even he knows he's stretching it, though, and he's glad when the elevator arrives.]

Maybe you'll get a crier.

[gotgreenmagic]

If I get a crier I'm instituting some kinda time-out system. [She backs into the elevator, hitting the button for the right floor with her elbow.]

[Dean follows, shuffling sideways on so they fit with the stretcher between them, and then stands as patiently as he knows how.]

You'd probably have to set up some kind of gag, too.

...though that might cross the line into kinky.

[It's more an amused noise than a laugh.] Yeah, I'm planning to keep the accusations of sexual harassment to a minimum.

[surfaceshine]

Now that is a goddamn shame. [Dean grins impishly, teasing and flirting harmlessly all in one go. He doesn't wait to get shot down like he did before, though.]

At least you had one for a little bit, anyway.

[gotgreenmagic]

I'm still not sure that's a good thing but yeah. You haven't been assigned yet, huh?

[Spam]

[surfaceshine]

Nope. [Slight bit of 'tude there - he's kind of annoyed by it, because of what he says next.] Makes me wonder how the hell I'm supposed to get my deal if I don't have an inmate.

Re: [Spam]

[gotgreenmagic]

It'll happen. And you've been waiting - what, two months? That is nowhere near the worst the Barge has to offer. You could get assigned an Inmate and spend a year working on them just so they can vanish.

[His jovial manner is starting to fade a bit, and he shakes his head. He has never been a patient man.]

Yeah, two months - but even if that happens, at least I'll be doing something.
